INTERVIEW: Nick Park On The Earthy Humor And Art Of ‘Early Man’

British stop-motion icon Nick Park has returned to the big screen after 13 years, this time with Early Man, his first feature project as a solo director.

For this latest caper, the Wallace and Gromit creator turns his attention to an imagined origin for the world’s favorite sport, soccer…erm…football. When the Bronze Age comes knocking, a ragtag group of cavemen headed up by Dug (voiced by Eddie Redmayne) are forced to take on the professional footballers of Real Bronzio in order to save their idyllic homeland from Tom Hiddleston’s greedy Lord Nooth.
